The Strength of an Ig Switch Region Is Determined by Its Ability to Drive R Loop Formation and Its Number of WGCW Sites

R loops exist at the murine IgH switch regions and possibly other locations, but their functional importance is unclear. In biochemical systems, R loop initiation requires DNA sequence regions containing clusters of G nucleotides, but cellular studies have not been done. Here, we vary the G-clusteri...
